Even before the carriage could stop, Cathain had already jump down from it before rushing into the Dalton Residence.
"Y-Your Highness?!"
Most of the knights were surprised to find the Crown Prince rushing in all of a sudden, that too without any prior notice.
And what surprised them the most was how he find his own way towards their lady's bedroom.
"Eleanora!"
Cathain huffed as he call out her name.
His red eyes were widened as his hands caught the door of her room.
Instantly everyone in the room turned their heads to glance at him, and Duke Dalton had a frown on his face after seeing the Crown Prince.
Cathain's eyes fall on bed to see her, but his view was blocked because of the duke.
Then his brows twitched as he noticed the torn fabric of the duke's uniform, which was clearly cut by a sharp object.
But surprisingly, there was no wound on his shoulder.
"Your highness, why are you here?"
Alexander asked in a deep annoyed voice and ignored the formality as he watched the crown prince to enter the room.
But the crown prince didn't seem to hear him.
Each step Cathain took felt like he was bound with some heavy object and couldn't move.
The closer he got, the more clearly he started to see the person on the bed.
Eleanora's silver hair was spread across the bed as her eyes was shut off.
Her facial expression was normal and it looked like she was just sleeping.
Sleeping...
This is what makes him afraid the most.
He watched her to sleep like this for four years.
[A/N: He is referring to the time after her execution. Season 01, CH 188 -192]
He kept talking to her but she never responded.
He begged her to open her eyes and look at him, but she never did.
He yearned to hear her voice, call his name; but she couldn't even hear him.
She just kept sleeping, with no movements and breathing.
Because she was dead.
He killed her.
Cathain's mind was filled with the past memories, where she used to sleep like this too.
He would keep talking like a fool, take care of a dead person like a crazy person.
Yeah, he is crazy.
He doesn't care what everyone calls him.
She is everything that he needs.
She is his tranquilizer, his peace, his life and everything.
Without her, there is no meaning of his existence.
"What are you doing, Your highness?"
Cathain suddenly paused on his steps as Alexander suddenly blocked his path from approaching Eleanora.
Alexander didn't knew why, but he felt an urge to stop this man getting any closer to his daughter.
His condition wasn't good either.
His shiny silver hair was damp and his appearance was a mess.
He clearly felt his senses going numb but his wound healed all of a sudden and as soon as he opened his eyes, Eleanora fainted right after that.
Not only him but all the people around them felt the same like him.
His injury healed completely and a part of him is now fearful.
Alexander is praying hopelessly for the thing he is thinking to not happen.
But then the crown prince appeared out of nowhere, which only made him more anxious.
He won't let anyone harm her anymore.
He had enough of this schemes and now he has decided to fight openly.
At first his wife and his daughter.
It really broke his patience completely.
"I want to see her,"
The crown prince uttered with authority and Alexander's blue gaze narrowed with furry.
For some reason, he doesn't want this man to glance at his daughter.
Both of them stares at each other with a deep frown, with no intention of backing off as they release their own magical aura.
But right then a light sound of finger snap was heard; before their magical aura was forced back into them and their eyes widens with shock.
What just happened?!
Both of them had the same question as they sense a intense glare pointed at them.
"Can't you two be quieter? Stop fighting like kids!"
Cathain and Alexander turns their head in unison towards the voice; before both of them wears a doubtful expression.
An annoyed expression appears on that person's face before he scoffs at them.
"Do you think those priests just made a 10 year old kid the master of the magic tower to eat candies?"
Noah spoke as he stops controlling their powers and raises his brows with question.
He was sitting on the chair beside Eleanora's bed as he came after sensing that same magical powers again.
He ignored it in his last life's but something told him that he should check on it this time.
As a descendant of the ancient dragon's and a person who has lived for centuries, he has the strongest magical powers; which can control all the magical powers.
But his earlier words made both of them embarrassed and theu averted their gazes.
"I-I just came to see her..."
Cathain shutters as he speaks and Alexander just keeps silent.
Fine, he will just ignore this man for this time!
"What happened to her?"
Cathain's question was directed at Noah, who lazily looked up at the him with an annoyed expression.
'He really looks a lot like him,'
Noah thought.
'And he is also a troublesome person like him,'
Noah's face presented the equal dislike he had for the crown prince, just like the duke.
Why would he like him?
Noah still remember how this man had locked him up in a small room with mice all around him; after he had refused to teach him transfer magic.
[A/N: This happened at the first timeline, after the execution of Eleanora. Cathain learnt the transfer magic to keep her body fresh by giving up his life force in her.]
Noah still feels shiver running down on his sprain whenever he thinks about that.
This was also why he completely ignored the outside mess in the second timeline.
Noah shook his head to stop thinking about his dark past before he parted his lips to reply; which made everyone freeze.
"She awakened her holy powers as an saintess,"
